Post a picture of your reading settings!
Following another interminable argument discussion about fonts, margins, linespacing etc, I thought it would be fun to see what settings different people use on their reading devices. So you're invited to post a photo or a screenshot of your usual reading settings! Doesn't have to be an eink reader; if you read more often on a tablet, phone, computer, post your favorite settings on that. If you read with different settings on different devices, post the one you use most frequently, or all of them, as you wish.
Good-natured joking and thoughtful discussion is allowed, criticizing and belittling other people's settings (it's ugly! horrible! how can you read like that!) is not. Here's a photo of my settings on the Libra 2 (they're very similar on my Sage). |

I like a margin between paragraphs but otherwise not too concerned about style. |

Here's my setup on my Kobo. I'm in the stupid office, so overhead fluorescents are making bright spots on the screen

That is a Kobo Plus book and I'm not enthused about removing DRM to edit it.
Here's an epub image. Last edited by DNSB; 06-15-2023 at 01:17 PM. |

Getting a good picture of a screen, especially with a mediocre smartphone camera, is not easy in my case. So I'll just list my settings and usage via text:
Paperwhite 3, firmware 5.9.4 --- Portrait orientation Fully justified text Minimum margins Minimum line spacing First line of paragraph: Indented Extra space between paragraphs: None Caecilia Condensed font Font size: 6 (subject to change depending on how tired my eyes are) Font boldness: 3 Bottom left shows: Time left in chapter Bottom right shows: Percentage of book completed Top shows: Nothing (no clock, etc.) Daytime reading: Illumination turned off completely Nightime dark area reading: Illumination set to 13 on a scale of 0 to 24 Airplane mode: 100% of the time, never goes online, sideload only In transport: Inside protective neoprene case, screen against hard cased small tablet In use: Naked device, no cover Pretty much everybodys screenshots of their display look mostly identical. Except for @305869 - the font or the boldness or something there looks a little different to my eye. Last edited by haertig; 06-15-2023 at 02:35 PM. |
